Frozen Dog Treats
Why Frozen Dog Treats You may be wondering what frozen dog treats have to do with nutrition and/or recovery, but they feature prominently in my own recovery story. It was 2016, and I had shuttered my food business a few years earlier. I was burned out on cooking. I was bored, lonely, unsure of…
True Food Kitchen Kale Salad
Last week we took all the cruciferous vegetables out of the garden to make room for Spring/Summer plantings like tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, green beans and cucumbers! Im sad to see my “Dazzling Blue” kale go, but we were able to harvest a few bunches for an end of season kale salad. This isn’t to say…
Halibut in Parchment Paper

Sweet Dreams Smoothie
How do you sleep at night? I’ve been a problem sleeper for a few years now. After I did get to sleep I’ll wake up an hour or two later, famished. I’d toss and turn while I mentally and obsessively scan every inch of my kitchen. Pantry, 1st shelf, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, fridge, freezer, anything…
Banana Oat Pancakes
“Call me when you … want some pancakes” Ali invites Rue to stop using and call him for pancakes instead, on the HBO show EUPHORIA.
